Actually don't rush to showroom Buying an outphased model may be the best bet in electronics/other goods, but certainly not good in automobiles. Also, the discounts will be hardly 1000-2000, and not 5-10k. I saw the old model of P180 on sale when the new P180 was launched, and they had given discount of only 1000rs. The resale value of P200 is sure to fall with the launch of P220 carb. New 220 is great, and new P180 also is much smoother than previous versions. THe reason 200 was phased out is, there was no need for it to exist. New P220 carb provides the fastest bike at almost the same cost as that of P200, and new P180 gives the looks of P200. If you are concerned about mileage, P150/180 is a good bet. 55kmpl can be bit optimistic expectation from a power bike. Expect around 45kmpl with P180/200/220, that too if you ride carefully.

Not pulsar 200, they are discoutinuing it. It is Pulsar 220.

The photos are not from A330, the article says they are from another plane B373. EDIT: OK, time to use google: The above photographs that claimed to have been taken inside the plane just before crash are fake. They actually belong to a TV series The Lost. Look at the video down here and in the last you would see the same screens. http://www.nkjlive.com/2009/06/moments-bef...e-flight-crash/

1hr of charging gives 5-10 mins life... hmm. I personally won't leave my phone in sun, because sun pretty much discolors everything (except skin, which darkens). A solar charged phone is step in the right direction, but still not much attractive a deal.

हमको मालूम है जन्नत की हकीकत लेकिन, दिल को खुश रखने का ग़ालिब यह ख्याल अच्छा है!

Uniross original charges costs some 370rs with 4 800mAh batteries, and 4 2700mAh Uniross batteries cost some 500-600 rs. SO max investment of 1000rs more. My old cam was having Lithium Ion rechargable battery, which was great, till a day when I went to a trek and the battery finished! There was no way to charge the battery in a Jungle. Now with AA cells, I can always carry around spares, or buy 20 bucks new ones for emergency.

Panasonic Lumix LZ8 is one great camera. My friend bought one from ebay with warranty of 3 years for 5200rs only, and it looks complete VFM. I personally don't like sony because of their proprietary stuff. You can't use SD/MMC cards, you can't even use one Sony camera's cable to hook up other sony camera, you have to carry that cable everywhere. In case of Panasonic or Canon, you need a simple USB cable available anywhere. Also, read the following as well as many other reviews on net: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/Q408budgetgroup/page8.asp LZ8 is given best weightage. Therefore, my vote goes to LZ8. So in 5200rs for camera + 250rs for 2GB SD card + 500 for rechargable AA cells and charger, in around 6000rs your camera set is complete!

Thanks Kshahji!

Does anyone have Osho lectures in good quality audio? I am very interested in them

I don't think there is any such phone. There are phones with FM without camera, but those with MP3 players and external memory support are with camera only.

The list of non-ruim phones would be shorter!

I have tried this on N2865. But I see no reason why it wouldn't work on other Nokias like 6265, 6275 etc. Try at your own risk. You'll need Diego 3.09 & above for this. For disabling startup animation: Go to Phone settings. Press Read All from phone. Then Save To File. This will be your backup incase anything goes wrong. Then in Left Hand window, in PRI ID Settings - Generic Features - Graphics & animations, There will be settings for different animations. Just delete everything u can delete from that entry, with Wake Up Animatins setting with value 1 (min value), & Misc wakeup display options- display of alpha tag should be set to option 0 by default. Don't tamper with this setting. There, no animations anymore for startup/shutdown! For editing the Groupwise sorting of dialled calls: Go to PRI ID Settings - Generic Feature - Call processing (Voice & data) - Call processing (voice) menu options - Call logs menu. There, you can see an option Call Log Display Options. Default is option 0- Group callers by name/phone number. Select Option 1- List callers as individual phone/name. Thus, no more grouping in the call history! For changing startup animation logo: I have attached the Reliance startup animation here. You'll need MobiMB mobile browser for this. Copy the attached files in Gallery - Themeactive - locked_theme_elem. Replace the existing files if u have to. Reliance startup logo is now in place! It would be great if anyone can upload Tata startup logo in such manner. Disclaimer: 1. Pls make sure u have backup of the data before tinkering with the phone. I am not responsible if u screw it up (though the chances are almost nil). 2. Don't ask me how to get these softwares. theme_descriptor.xml

2730 looks great, and the features are good too (micro USB connector, 3.5mm jack, fm, expandable memory). Let's see when Nokia launches it.

Don't go for Nokia 1255 or 1325!! @samvenkatesh: have you used any of the two?? If no, then pls don't advise on hearsay. If yes, then I salute your patience!

All CDMA phones will heat more or less. You can buy a LG 35XX/36XX series and use a 150rs original headphone. This is a better solution than to use the crappy low end Nokias!

Ya, the green one looks like a cheap plastic toy! I may get myself one, coz no one would want to steal it! But 3500 is one solid phone, specially at 3 digit price, with excellent battery life and sturdiness.

I opened an ebay store for selling Big bazaar vouchers, which I was getting from Indiatimes. I have had quite a few orders. Almost all were shipped. Now ebay has this intermediary system called Paisapay, which is for protection of buyer and seller. When you buy any item, money goes to Paisapay, and only when you confirm the receipt of that item, Paisapay releases that money to the seller. Now I have more than 30000 to be paid through Paisapay. Today they were supposed to relive it. However, today morning, I received 2 consecutive mails, one saying my account was on hold, and other saying it was suspended! When I contacted the online customer care, they said the account was suspended, and all the money would be paid back to the buyers! Now why is that? I have not done a single false trade. All the trades can be proved. I have provided the KYC documents and paid the invoice (damn it I shouldn't have paid it this morning). And they are not giving any reason at all, just saying I violated their terms. How am I supposed to recover money now I am seriously thinking of going to Consumer Court. Please advise, urgently.

A good news!!! I successfully got the money from the buyer! That buyer stopped communicating with me, and picking up my calls. Unfortunately for him and fortunately for me, two things happened: 1. All transaction was done in white and not in black. I had all the receipts from Indiatimes.com showing I ordered the vouchers and sent to his address. 2. Most importantly, my wife, who is a lawyer, intervened She called him up to give him warning. He even tried to cut the phone, saying he didn't have time. But after listening to the call, warning him to either pay or to be ready to be present in Pune court for defending himself, did the trick! He called me up, saying there was this and that reason that I behaved so etc. I got the money in 3 installments, no interest of course, but atleast I recovered the principal! So guys, if someone is trying to cheat you, don't worry. If the transactions are done in white, you can take court's help! Thanks all for the support you have shown

I am visiting Kolkata on next sunday 03 May 2009, reaching on Saturday eve, and leaving monday morning. I am staying at Youth Hostel, Dumdum. I am thinking about taking the one day city tour by WB tourism: PACKAGE TOUR FOR Kolkata SIGHT-SEEING Tourist Centre, Government of West Bengal, 3/2 Benoy Badal Dinesh Bagh (East), operate full day guided sight-seeing tours daily in luxury coaches. Fare Rs. 150/-. The tour covers B. B. D. Bagh, Jain Temple, Dakshineswar Kali and Shiva Temples, Belur Math, Indian Museum, Victoria Memorial Hall & Museum, St. Paul's Cathedral, Zoo, National Library, Birla Industrial Museum, Nicco Park, Vidyasagar Setu, Botanical Gardens. This being my first time to visit Kolkata, I need some guidance from RIMWEBians in Kolkata. 1. Metro trains are not running on Sunday morning, right? So how can I reach BBD bagh from Dumdum hotel ( I have attached a map of the YHA hotel)? Are there any taxis available at 7am? What will be the cost? 2. While coming back from the day tour, is it comfortable for me to get down to some metro station after last point Botanical Gardens, to come back to Dumdum, or should I go back to BBD bagh? 3. How can I get ticket for the one day sight seeing? In Pune, you have to be physically present to buy the tickets. I will be reaching Kolkata just a day before, so no way I myself can go and book the ticket. On sunday, the bus will be mostly full. So is there any way of advance booking? If there is no online booking, will someone from Kolkata who stays/operates nearby the above address buy and mail the tickets to youth hostel, dumdum? 4. Lastly, where can I taste the famous rasgullas of Bengal ? Awaiting answers from Kolkata ppl, and also others who are experienced.

Good initial review, savramesh! All the best for your experience.

^^^ yep. Only tata numbers at 9p suddenly made the plan very uninteresting.

@rahulbhansali: I called up tata customer care for new connection on following number: For New Postpaid Connections( Mobile / Wireless / Landline / Internet devices ) :9220008282 The initial deposit for landline is some 562rs. But they had no idea about 9 paisa plan. How do we go about it?

Hi How can I go for this plan in Thane? What is the procedure and total commitment? I want to shift from MTNL to Tata. How much is the deposit, and lastly, how is the range?

Nothing looks compelling. The symbol shouldn't be just pretty, but easy to write and distinguish too. The s with horizontal line is straight rip off of $.the following http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/photo/4365924.cms is actually a mathematical symbol for set of Real numbers! Come on, is there anyone creative on board who can create a better symbol?
